• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

To try to keep from having to take my spyder back to the shop has anyone had problems with the 12v adapter burning up items that you plug into it and not blowing the fuse? Mine has fried 2 phone chargers so far.

Sounds like the polarity to the outlet is wrong. Swap the wires or have some one confirm with multimeter. If so, that is dealer error.

This should have been posted in SHOP TALK. For future reference.

Edited as auto spell on my droid had some fun with some words.

Check the outlet with a digital volt meter. Put the positive lead to the center contact and the negative to the ground contact. The meter should read a positive measurement. If it reads a negative voltage then the wires to the outlet is backwards. If it reads correctly your problem is with the chargers not the outlet.
 
I agree with the above post, did the same thing with my Tom Tom. Realized what happened on Friday after it happened a second time AND IT WAS WORKING CORRECTLY LAST YEAR. Dealer messed up when they replaced my DPS. Also look to see if there is a fuse in your adaptors (unscrew the tip), that was the only damage that accured to me.
